Autopsy vs Carlton - Round 8, 2020

[domiroo]

The GARY ******* LYON CURSE CONTINUES.. he said North Melbourne was finals bound haven’t won a game since ..

 

[Rod Stroker]

Proud of the way we went about it today. Losing to Carlton is a lot harder than it sounds.

That we lost to them after they've been shitful for so long, tells you where we are at.

We don't stand for much at the moment, sadly

 

[trooroo4life]

We are s**t.

 

[Snake_Baker]

Positives:

It won't show in the stats, but IMO Jed influenced the turnaround the most from quarter time.
Polec (in his right position).
Pittard for all bar 3% of the match
The polish of Bailey & Larks
The continuing good output from our KPD's.
Kyron's shut down on Betts.
L-Mac's continuing maturity & hardness.

Negatives:

The wrong end of the continual appalling umpiring.
Brainfarts that ultimately cost us wins
Our inside 50's.

 

[Roscoe]

Murphy is as soft as a pensioners turd.

That is my takeaway.

Takeaways do that to you.

 

[Jumping Roo]

In the last Q there was a passage when he ws going after the ball. He slowed down so he could trail in his opponent. He didn't want it.

Saw that. Did not look like he wanted to be out there. Not a good sign. Champion players just don’t do that. Either he’s injured or he’s not happy with nmfc

 

[gokangas]

Fair enough the angst towards Pittard, but does anyone think we would have felt that much better had we pinched it?

Win lose draw, that was a painful game to watch and still a depressing look at the rest of the season.

Shaw needs to concede the season now and prepare for 2021, no more playing senior players who have no future with us, players underdone, and players who make fundamental errors over and over again.

We're rock ******* bottom at the moment.

Are you serious? Would we feel better if we won? Are you serious?

 

[Only Forwards]

I was completely fine with that game.

Anderson plays on Cripps in the first and we win it.

 

[Le Grille]

Multiple shoulder injuries and OP will do that.

If he puts in these performances at round 10 next year, questions could be asked.

There were some very serious red flags today in terms of effort and courage

Despite the usual silly mistakes, there were definitely more positives today then we've seen for a bit - did plenty to put the Blues under pressure, Bailey Scott looking totally at home, three talls in defence worked well, the forward line looks so much more constructive with Larkey in... but pretty much all of that was after quarter time. In the first term, we looked lazy, soft, unaccountable and disinterested. Can't expect to win games of football playing only three quarters.

 

[Waynesworld]

Fair play to Curnow, he absolutely destroyed Simpkin.

Had hold of him at every contest before he got the ball. Not 1 free.

 

[FlyHigh18]

I just can’t watch BB anymore, no strength in him what so ever. I’m so over it.

 

[Jasemon]

North 2021 Bumper Sticker needs to read as follows:
“Brain fades and poor decisions”

 

[showusyacunningt]

Rain killed us really, Carlton were able to just put numbers around the ball in that last quarter.

Improved performance, actually strung a few together at one stage. Hopefully improved confidence despite the loss. Larkey's inclusion was huge for the function of our forward line.

 

[Shermanator]

Don’t be so negative. Surely we can snatch pick 1 from Adelaide

Oh, I wasn’t being negative, I cant wait for the draft period. Might actually crack a smile or two in 2020..

 

[Waynesworld]

Takeaways do that to you.

Only Indian.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Fair play to Curnow, he absolutely destroyed Simpkin.

Curnow would be close to the best stopper in the comp

 

[abbeorse]

Other club supporters all laugh at our LDU selection and you can understand why. Apart from half a dozen good games and a few more promising moments he has been a huge disappointment.

It's weird, he looks like he's done the work off field and got himself to a really good size. He was caught in no mans land between contests a bit today which you can excuse as he hasn't played for a long time but when he was around the contests he just doesn't go hard at the footy which baffles me considering his size. If you're not quick and you don't offer much forward then you're a pure midfielder and finding/winning the football is a must.

 

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Yep.

Blaming the umpires every week (same poster) says a lot about their ability as a football analyst.

Umps are swings and roundabouts with the umps. To blame every week is a triggered response that will get us nowhere.

LDU deserves time. Could show far more urgency as he cruises in 2nd gear - it's no longer junior footy.

I get that it was basically a scratch match for him. But saw no aggression, at all. Cunnington and Ziebell showed it their first few years even if it didn't work.

 

[Heaps of fun]

I was completely fine with that game.

Anderson plays on Cripps in the first and we win it.

Valuable loss and much easier to watch than anything since the GWS game.

 

[Ry009]

Are you serious? Would we feel better if we won? Are you serious?

Equivalent of eating 4 big Macs, tastes good for about 5 minutes then want to sit on the bog for a few hours after realizing what you put yourself through.

 

[muttley45]

4 minutes, about 1 minute per quarter, that is my estimate of the time Simpkin was NOT being held by Curnow

 

[winalotroos]

Feel sorry for him. He won't be getting success at Arden Street

Better then not laying at all

 

[SunnyBoner]

Our players should be referred to The Hague for crimes against f50 deliveries

Was it Dumont in the last streaming into the forward 50 and picked out and opposition player? FMD! Also is there any chance Atley could bounce the ball when he's got a head of steam up?

 

[ChoppyGun]

Walker has such a composed style.

I know he's not young but we really need more of that in our squad.

No panicking, stays within his limits.
